A Laura Ingalls Wilder Christmas

A Laura Ingalls Wilder Christmas
In their poorest winter ever, when the crops have been devastated by locusts and the family must deal with the death of baby Freddie, Charles Ingalls backtracks his family to Burr Oak, Iowa, to take over the running of a hotel. And if things weren't bad enough, Ma tells Laura she must be nice to "the worst boy in Iowa." When wealthy Mrs. Starr asks for Laura to read to her in the afternoons, Laura is overjoyed to be invited into such a fine house, but when she overhears Mrs. Starr offer to adopt Laura as her own daughter, Laura is certain that Ma and Pa will give her up.
